Re: [tm-dev] Question on terminal migration / dependencies

Hi Rob,

 

>1) Has RSE itself been marginally migrated to use the new terminal? Actions / etc? 

 

The “RSE Terminals” implementation (org.eclipse.rse.terminals feature) has been adopted to use the terminal widget from TM Terminal 4.0. This will be released with RSE 3.8 (you can get it from [1]). It provides the same functionality as before, but based on TM Terminal 4.0.

 

The “RSE Terminals” feature can be also replaced by the newer “TM Terminal View Remote System Explorer add-in” (o.e.tm.terminal.view.rse.feature). This feature provides a similar integration with RSE but is using the “Terminal” view provided by TM Terminal 4.0. Using the new feature unifies all terminal related functionality to use the TM Terminal 4.0 “Terminal” view.

 

>2) Assuming our product's target platform needs a terminal feature to be included, how would we go about doing that?

 

You have the option to either include the “All-In-One” feature (o.e.tm.terminal.feature) or to pick the view (o.e.tm.terminal.view.feature), the widget (o.e.tm.terminal.control.feature) and the desired connectors (o.e.tm.terminal.connector.*.feature) individually. We recommend to use the “All-In-One” feature as it includes the new local terminal as well.

Please include the “org.eclipse.cdt.native” feature, which is available since CDT 8.4 ([2]). This features bundles only the required CDT native tools without including the whole CDT core feature.

 

Best regards, Uwe J

Subject: [tm-dev] Question on terminal migration / dependencies

 

Hi All:

Our product is still using RSE, and I'm curious how this relates to the terminal migration and Mars. So a few questions:

1) Has RSE itself been marginally migrated to use the new terminal? Actions / etc? 
2) Assuming our product's target platform needs a terminal feature to be included, how would we go about doing that?

We've tried including org.eclipse.tm.terminal.feature, but it seems to miss the requirement of org.eclipse.tm.terminal.connector.local.feature.  Following the dependency chain, we'd eventually need  <unit id="org.eclipse.cdt.core.linux.x86_64" version="5.3.0.201505050312"/>  in the TP as well, and it feels incorrect to be putting platform-specific bundles on the TP.  Any advice here?

Thanks in advance all.
